Pray this Lazaroo with confidence:

“…the Lord is faithful…”
(2 Thessalonians 3:3)

I love this about You, Jesus!

No one is as faithful as You.

We make promises to one another with every intent to keep them.

But when circumstances change
our promises can fly out the window.

No so with You!

You’re All-Powerful.
You control all circumstances.

Because You see the future
nothing takes You by surprise.

The moment You make a promise

You know when, how and where You will keep it.

Pray this Lazaroo in abject humility:

“A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet…‘Lord, I have heard of your fame…’”
(Habakkuk 3:1-2)

Habakkuk isn’t the only one, Jesus.

So have I.

I’ve read the Bible. Marveled at Your miracles.

You’re All-Powerful.
There’s nothing You can’t do.

But I’ve also discovered the hard way:

I can’t make You grant me a miracle

just because I desperately want it

just because I believe

I absolutely have to have it.

That You know better than I do

is also part of Your fame.

Pray this Lazaroo in trusting confidence:

“This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘These people say, “The time has not yet come to rebuild the Lord’s house.”’”
(Haggai 1:2)

That doesn’t sound like discernment, Jesus.

It sounds like laziness.

May I never put off doing Your will because it requires a lot of work!

And by the same token:

May I never put off doing Your will
because I realize my very best work won’t be enough!

May I always trust that Your All-Powerful Hand

will be able to accomplish what I cannot!

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Return to the LORD your God…”
(Joel 2:13)

Why would any of us ever leave You, Jesus?

You’re loving, kind, merciful, forgiving, all-wise, all-powerful –

the Only God!

How could any of us who has touched Your greatness

stray from Your loving arms?

But we do.

There’s no excuse. None.

My only hope when I commit the unthinkable
and cave in to Satan’s temptation

is to repent with every fiber of my being
and return to You with all my heart!

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“…see…the oppression among her people.”
(Amos 3:9)

You do see, Jesus!

You see and care.

That means so much to me!

To know it breaks Your heart too
is comfort in our sorrow.

But even more, to know that You’re All-Powerful

and that even while the oppression is going on
Your plan to intervene in Your perfect way and time

is operational.

It’s my responsibility to fight oppression.

But You’re the only one who can stop it in its tracks.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…that those who love your name may rejoice in you.”
(Psalms 5:11)

I love Your Name, Jesus!

And oh, how I rejoice in You!

You’re guiding my every step.

You’re protecting me in all my ways.

Even when I make poor choices

You rescue me, pick me up
and set me once again on Your firm foundation.

You Are Tender, Forgiving, Loving, Merciful, All-Powerful. Helpful.

You’re my Best Friend.

I cannot imagine living without You

deep
daily
moment-by-moment
1on1.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“…the priest will make atonement for the man’s sin…”
(Leviticus 4:26)

That’s the way it used to work, Jesus.

You’re the One who set it up.

No longer.
There’s a new Priest in town:

I don’t have to go to another person any longer –

somebody as messed up as I am.

I can go straight to You – perfect, sinless, pure, all-powerful.

You don’t forgive me because of my words.
You forgive when You see true repentance in my heart.

Let God blow your mind, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…those who pass by…”
(Micah 2:8)

As improbable as it sounds to a mere human, Jesus

no one simply passes by me.

You orchestrate every one.

I can’t fathom that

because to them and me

we’re walking, driving, riding, flying
wherever we please.

Nope.

It’s wherever You please.

I can disbelieve it, reason against it, attempt to refute it.

Or I can worship Your incomprehensible greatness
in stunned awareness that this is Your world
which You run however You please.

Pray this Lazaroo in signed-up gratitude:

“The Merarites were appointed to take care of the frames of the tabernacle…”
(Numbers 3:36)

What an honor to have been a Merarite, Jesus!

To think that Your tabernacle was standing
because of me.

You didn’t need the Merarites.
You’re all-powerful.

You could have made Your tabernacle stand
without asking them to lift a finger.

Instead, You did a glorious thing:

You invited them to be part of bringing You glory

as You are doing right now
with me.
